Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. BEST DEAL ON THE RIVER so if you’ve been dreaming of owning a SUCCESSFUL SHORT-TERM RENTAL that OFFSETS the COSTS of the home OR a PERSONAL PARADISE or both, welcome to 5272 Tropical Point. Consistently BOOKED with new and repeat customers, this home provides the best of both worlds: INVESTMENT and/or private use. Even better, everything conveys except the ice machine and Sonos stereo system. This includes furniture, décor, kayaks, fire pit, and outdoor furniture, pool table, and much more, making this property completely move-in ready.
Tucked near the quiet end of the beautiful, spring-fed Weeki Wachee River, this elevated home sits high and dry—remaining completely untouched during the 2024 floods and offering peace of mind year-round. With three bedrooms, two baths, about 1,900 square feet of living area and 3,200 square feet under roof, it perfectly combines comfort, practicality, and that laid-back Florida lifestyle everyone loves.
The lower level is designed for entertainment and convenience. The huge screened lanai, completed in 2024 with a durable acrylic floor, serves as a spacious entertainment area and currently features a pool table—perfect for gatherings, games, or simply enjoying the breeze off the river in a bug-free setting. You can also enter the lanai directly from the carport, keeping you dry when unloading on rainy days. From inside the lanai, an interior staircase leads straight to the main living area, providing easy, weather-protected access to the upper levels.
From the exterior, a poly-wood staircase leads up to the main level’s wraparound deck, where you can take in stunning river, marsh, and sunset views. Step inside to a bright and open living area with 36-foot tongue-and-groove pine ceilings and a wall of windows that span both upper levels, flooding the home with natural light and capturing breathtaking river views from nearly every angle. The fireplace adds a cozy touch, while the kitchen—with granite countertops and a gas stove—is ideal for cooking and entertaining. The primary bedroom on this level opens directly onto the deck through double doors, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The adjoining bath features a flexible layout with a separate shower and sink area, making it convenient for both owners and guests.
Upstairs, two generous bedrooms and a full bath provide a comfortable retreat for family or visitors. The upstairs landing overlooks the two-story open living area below, giving the home an airy, connected feel while highlighting the dramatic pine ceilings and expansive river views framed by those stunning windows.
Outdoors, this property is built for true Florida living. The full seawall runs the length of the lot and leads to a large dock with a ladder for easy water access—perfect for swimming, kayaking, or boating. The dock can accommodate multiple boats, and the storage shed provides extra space for gear and equipment. A fire pit and updated pavers create the perfect setting for gathering under the stars after a day on the water.
With a newer roof (2021), HVAC (2018), fresh interior paint, updated pavers, fans, and other thoughtful touches, this home blends modern updates with effortless riverfront charm.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time waterfront home, a weekend escape, or a property with income potential, 5272 Tropical Point offers it all!
